Shorcut Dimensions on Document Lines

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 64
According to the documentation, the six shortcut dimensions should be available as fields on journal and document lines. However, when I attempt to add fields via the 'Personalize' option on a purchase invoice line, I can only see the two global dimensions. Is there any additional setup required to add the rest of shortcut dimensions as columns in these windows?
 
Thanks in advance

    It can be several things. Are these shortcut dimensions setup in your General Ledger Setup:
     
    When you add the fields to the page they will have the name of Global/Shortcut dimension, rather than the value you assigned them:
     
     
    You can try this as well, select the 'Fields already shown on page' setting and see if you can find the dimensions then.
